The "Wear a Lifejacket" campaign clinics will run throughout January after a number of water safety incidents including the death of a Sydney woman who was pulled from treacherous surf at Park Beach, Coffs Harbour on January 3.

Servicing inflatable lifejackets is a legal requirement each year in NSW and inflatable lifejackets require extra care to ensure they will inflate in an emergency.

Boating educators will be running the free clinic sessions to promote awareness of inflatable lifejacket servicing requirements, including step-by-step instructions on how to self-service, general safety advice and information. There will also be online demonstrations by boating education officers online.

Attendees at the self-servicing sessions are eligible to receive a discount voucher which can be used towards the purchase of an inflatable lifejacket or self servicing parts at a retail partner.

The Port Macquarie clinic is scheduled to be held at Westport boat ramp from 11am to 3pm on January 5. The Forster clinic will be held from 11am to 3pm at Forster Boat Ramp at Off Beach Road on January 10.

Clinics will also be held at Port Stephens Little Beach boat ramp on January 11 and Lake Macquarie's Blacksmiths boat ramp on January 12 from 11am to 3pm.
